At four o'clock in the morning, on the official road twenty miles away from Lintao City.
Yuchigong, who was riding a tall horse, clenched the letter into a ball with one hand.
"You dare to touch my Yuchi family's son-in-law, you are really impatient to live."
Cui Zhan, the hot-tempered Zuolang, urged his horse forward, cupped his hands and said:
"General, you just agreed to Qin Canjun's marriage proposal the day before yesterday. Today he was assassinated. The other party obviously does not take our Youwu Guards seriously."
"This is okay, but this is absolutely intolerable."
"How can we, the son-in-law of Youwuwei, be bullied like this! If the news spreads, the other guards will laugh to death."
Youlang nodded Su Kun in agreement and said:
"What General Cui said makes sense. General, why don't we change our route and go to Yuzhong City first?"
Hearing this, the others also agreed. Their aura did not sound like they were going to save people in Yuzhong City, but rather they seemed like they were going to massacre the city.
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but feel a little moved after listening to the words of the killers under his command.
Zhang Jin, the lieutenant-general who had been silent all this time, sensed that something was wrong with the momentum.
He quickly turned over and dismounted, fell to his knees with a thud, and begged:
"General, think twice! Tuyuhun and Dangxiang are still on the run."
"General, please put national affairs first and don't be impulsive!"
Yuchi Gong looked unhappy when he heard this and snorted coldly:
"My son-in-law was almost killed by a thief, and you still want me to think twice? How can I think twice?"
Zhang Jin heard this and said quickly:
"Since Qin Canjun proposed the Sixteen-Character Art of War, the general has always regarded Qin Canjun as his teacher. Now that Mr. Qin has been assassinated, the general is also very angry."
"It's just that the situation is unclear now. If we rush there with the army, it will only make the situation in Yuzhong City more complicated. Not only will it not be able to help, but it may also cause chaos."
"Wouldn't it be beautiful if the assassin escaped?"
Yuchi Gong frowned when he heard this and said displeasedly:
"Nonsense, I have so many talented right-wing guards, how could I let the assassin escape?"
Having said this, Yuchi Gong paused and then said:
"However, what you said is not unreasonable. With so many people passing by, it is indeed easy to cause chaos."
"In your opinion, how should we handle this matter more appropriately?"
Zhang Jin rolled his eyes and glanced at Yuchi Baolin not far away.
"Colonel Yuchi is highly skilled in martial arts and decisive in his actions, and he will also be Mr. Qin's future brother-in-law."
"The general might as well send Colonel Yuchi to lead a team of troops to Yuzhong City to cooperate with Mr. Qin in hunting down the assassins."
"Firstly, it will not delay the march; secondly, it can reflect the importance the general attaches to Qin Canjun; thirdly, it can enhance the relationship between Captain Yuchi and Qin Canjun."
"Wouldn't it be beautiful to achieve three things with one stone?"
Yuchi Gong nodded slightly and laughed:
"Yes, yes, what Jin said won my heart, so I will do it."
Zhang Jin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
[It is really difficult for me, Lao Zhang, to have such a great general on the stand. ]
...
Chenshi, five quarters, Yuzhong City
After more than an hour of pursuit, the assassin was finally trapped in a two-entry house by Huo Yi and more than ten people.
The members of the Fire Character Team held crossbows and formed a small circle, trapping Zhang Ye in the center.
The members of Muzi's team were holding clairvoyants one by one, standing on the eaves, walls and other places, staring at the people in the yard.
Huo Yi raised his arm and signaled his men to stop.
"If you are wise, put down the knife and follow us back. Maybe you can still survive. Otherwise, I will send you to see the King of Hell now."
Zhang Ye smiled miserably and said:
"A way to survive? This kind of talk can only be deceived by children."
Huo Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Want to die? Ha, okay, then I will make it happen for you. The young master didn't say anything anyway. You must take him back alive."
With that said, Huo Yi lowered his arm and asked the team members to release arrows.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Wait, don't do anything yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, dark-skinned young man broke into the crowd and rushed to Zhang Ye.
"Old Zhang, is that you?"
Xue Li said with a trembling voice:
"Lao Zhang, I am Xiao Xue from Longmen County!"
Looking at the excited Xue Li in front of him, Zhang Ye's eyes twitched, then he turned his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"You got the wrong person. A certain family's surname is not Zhang."
Xue Li's eyes flashed, and with a little force on his feet, he rushed to Zhang Ye, raised his hand and struck with a knife.
Zhang Ye had been running for several hours, and was injured, so he was exhausted, so his reaction was half a beat slower.
Before falling into coma, Zhang Ye had only two thoughts in his mind.
[That’s it, it’s still a death. Rather than die at the hands of others, it is better to give the little fellow a fortune, which can also be considered as the friendship between fellow villagers. ]
[Qiuniang, I'm sorry, see you in the next life. ]
........
At the end of Chen Shi, the front hall of Qin Mansion.
Qin Ming frowned and looked at Jia Sheng, the soldier in the audience.
"So, those eight people are all from Zuo Xiaowei's Third Zhechong Mansion?"
Jia Sheng nodded and said:
"Indeed."
Qin Ming was silent for a while and asked:
"Who is the third captain of Chongfu?"
As soon as these words came out, it was Jia Sheng's turn to be silent.
Seeing this, Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Forget it if you don't know. I'll just ask other people later."
Jia Sheng gritted his teeth after hearing this, saluted Qin Ming, and said:
"Reporting to join the army, he was the third captain of Chongfu. His name is Changsun Peng. It is said that he is the distant nephew of Sun Shangshu, the Duke of Qi."
Qin Ming nodded slightly and tapped the table with his fingers.
Qin Ming was not surprised at all by this answer.
After all, there were not many people who had enemies with him, and there happened to be one in the eldest grandson's family.
In this case, it can be explained.
If there wasn't someone behind them, how could they pretend to be wounded and hide in the wounded barracks.
With such an obvious loophole, Jia Sheng has obviously figured it out.
Otherwise, you won’t hesitate when you hear his question.
Thinking of this, Qin Mingchao Jia Sheng said:
"Jia Canjun, I need to trouble you with something."
Now that he has made his choice, Jia Sheng naturally has to go all the way to the end.
"Just ask to join the army."
Qin Ming nodded slightly, pointed at the dog beside him, and said:
"Excuse me, Jia joins the army and takes me, my personal guard, to the wounded barracks and arrest all the people who are in charge of Zuo Xiaowei's Third Rebellion."
Jia Sheng heard this and said respectfully:
"Here."
